Installed Sonic Racing Transformed or whatever the fresh hell it's called for Steam. Played for like 15 minutes, and Mario Kart can REALLY take a page from SEGA in terms of KART racing. Huge cast w/ unlockables, impressive track designs, fun to play w/o it being too easy. Good stuff.

Finished Borderlands 2 - twice. Once as Gaige and once as Maya. I preferred Maya, but IMO she's a tougher character for single player. Liked it SO much better than the first one. Environments were more varied, NPCs were better, story was better. And it was much much funnier. Only negative for me is that I would have liked a longer time between respawns. I like to poke around in every nook and cranny and there's a lot to explore in each area - especially if you want to look for some of the challenge items. I got tired of having to clear out an area multiple times. Similarly, I thought there was too much back-tracking for side quests.

Started Remember Me. It has its problems, but mostly it seems to me like a big budget idea that didn't have a big budget. Which, you know, if you're a new developer and you don't have a big budget, you probably shouldn't try to make a game that requires a big budget. Just my opinion. And whatever budget they did have, they probably spent most of it on the art direction, because the design is gorgeous. I don't think the combat mechanics are as bad as some of the reviews make them out to be. It works better in some fights than in others. There was a pretty steep learning curve for me and I'm still not really great at it. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a little different - maybe not at full price though. Aside from its negatives, it's also a fairly short game. I just started it yesterday and I'm in chapter 4 of 8.

I put maybe 2 hours into BL2 this past weekend. No regrets, but yeah, Maya works a lot better when you have support.

I picked up Injustice:GAU on the cheap and man, I'm torn. Mechanically, this game is sweet. Visually, it's mixed. Story mode is a hot mess, and yo, kinda messed up in a bad way. Like there's a bit where you fight Raven and Green Lantern, and after he wins, he adjusts his ring and literally say "Looks like I won't be getting any more lip from her", which yo....yo.....that ain't cool.

Sonic Vroom Vroom Transforming Racing remains a delight, and I managed to get my hands on a N64 this past weekend. Goldeneye has NOT aged well.

Finally blasted through story mode of Saints Row the Third with my fiancé last night and beat the game. Feels good to finish something as Animal Crossing takes up like, all my game time. Occasionally I switch over to Fire Emblem, but all I've been doing there is grinding and marrying my characters off. Hrm.

Just in time for Saints Row the 4 to drop in a few weeks!

Wanted to mess around w/ some of the new BSI DLC last night, BUT the servers were too busy to install it properly or some such. THANKS GABE-BAMA. Did some BL2 instead.

The more I play Remember Me the more I like it. It's rough around the edges but most of my gripes are for what it doesn't do. Mostly, I just really really want it to be open world. That, and have skipable cut scenes. I have to think that the reviewers who complained about the fighting didn't really give it a chance. If you try to just punch and kick your way to victory - yeah, it's pretty dull. If you use all the tools the game gives you, it's a lot of fun. Part of what I like is that you have to dodge frequently which is how I like to play anyway. And it makes sense for the character - you're a scrawny girl trying to fight giant dudes and robots. Several times I've thought, "Man, this fight is stupid!" and then realized - no, I am the one who is stupid. I was just using the completely wrong strategy.
